Merchants utilizing the new AI &#8220;Optimizer&#8221; layer saw an average conversion lift of 4-8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, Adobe successfully monetized its AI tools and migrated more of its commerce base to a high-margin subscription model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Magento Features Review in 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year Magento shifted from a simple automation to agentic AI features highlighted at the Adobe Summit 2025. The idea that AI shouldn&#8217;t just suggest things, but actually perform tasks for the merchant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the standout features that redefined the merchant experience this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service (ACCS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched in June 2025, this multi-tenant SaaS platform allows merchants to provision instances in under two minutes. The number of manual upgrades and security patches required for these users dropped to zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edge Delivery Services (EDS)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This became the gold standard for performance. By using &#8220;document-based authoring&#8221; (managing site content via Google Docs or Microsoft Word), brands are achieving perfect 100\/100 Lighthouse scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe Firefly Integration&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merchants can now generate high-fidelity product descriptions and marketing imagery directly within the Magento Admin panel using generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adobe Commerce Optimizer&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new experience layer that works with any backend, allowing legacy brands to get Adobe\u2019s high-performance storefront without a full replatform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other feature highlights: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Agent Orchestrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand Concierge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buying Groups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimization Agent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magento Usage Statistics in 2025&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of late 2025, there are approximately <strong>117,075 live stores<\/strong> running in Magento with the top countries like the USA, UK, and Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a more detailed breakdown of the numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Countries&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Using Magento&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United States&nbsp;<\/td><td>12.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United Kingdom<\/td><td>6.4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Germany&nbsp;<\/td><td>6.3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Netherlands&nbsp;<\/td><td>5.5%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these numbers are still strong over the last 90 days, 1038 merchants have migrated to Magento, while 1773 have moved on to other platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, Odoo, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Magento_Migration_in_2025-1024x455.png\" alt=\"Magento Migration data 2025\" class=\"wp-image-25282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Magento_Migration_in_2025-1024x455.png 1024w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Magento_Migration_in_2025-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Magento_Migration_in_2025-768x341.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Magento_Migration_in_2025.png 1288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the shift toward PWA (Progressive Web Apps) and Edge Delivery, the theme landscape has evolved.
